MISS JUANITA is a 1980 towing vessel. The Coast Guard has recorded 22 inspections since 1990, most recently in March 2025, along with 9 deficiencies — 1 with no resolution recorded — and 3 casualty investigations between 2012 and 2019.
Records from 1990 to 2025. Most recent: inspection, 24 March 2025.
Coast Guard record current through 23 August 2026, retrieved 5 September 2026 from PSIX. Every field on this page was recorded by the Coast Guard. Records for the Towing Vessel class in Maury's sources begin in 1980.
Every line above is a count of records the US Coast Guard wrote, or a date it recorded.
A blank resolution means none was recorded in this data; it does not establish that a
deficiency is outstanding. Years with a record are calendar years in which a record
exists, not years in service. What Maury does
not do.

The Coast Guard recorded this vessel and the following in the same
inspection activity — normally a tug and the barges in its tow. A recreational or
unclassed hull in the same activity is held and not published, so it does not appear
here: these lists are a floor, not a complete manifest.
A towing vessel subject to this subchapter and choosing the Coast Guard inspection option, or required to have the Coast Guard option, must undergo an annual inspection within 3 months before or after the COI anniversary date.
Vessel has not had an annual inspection since July 2023 and is now considered a invalid COI. Will need to schedule a Certificate of Inspection.

Ownership record

with its owners and liens as filed -- is not in PSIX. Ask, and Maury buys it from the National
Vessel Documentation Center, files it here with its date, and every reader of this page gets it.
